TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention provides fused pyrazine derivatives that modulate the activity of adenosine receptors, such as subtypes A2A and A2B, and are useful in the treatment of diseases related to the activity of adenosine receptors including, for example, cancer, inflammatory diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and neurodegenerative diseases.

BACKGROUND

Adenosine is an extracellular signaling molecule that can modulate immune responses through many immune cell types. Adenosine was first recognized as a physiologic regulator of coronary vascular tone by Drury and Szent-Györgyu (Sachdeva, S. and Gupta, M. Saudi Pharmaceutical Journal, 2013, 21, 245-253), however it was not until 1970 that Sattin and Rall showed that adenosine regulates cell function via occupancy of specific receptors on the cell surface (Sattin, A., and Rall, T. W., 1970. Mol. Pharmacol. 6, 13-23; Hasko', G., at al., 2007, Pharmacol. Ther. 113, 264-275).

Adenosine plays a vital role in various other physiological functions. It is involved in the synthesis of nucleic acids, when linked to three phosphate groups; it forms ATP, the integral component of the cellular energy system. Adenosine can be generated by the enzymatic breakdown of extracellular ATP, or can be also released from injured neurons and glial cells by passing the damaged plasma membrane (Tautenhahn, M. et al. Neuropharmacology, 2012, 62, 1756-1766). Adenosine produces various pharmacological effects, both in periphery and in the central nervous system, through an action on specific receptors localized on cell membranes (Matsumoto, T. et al. Pharmacol. Res., 2012, 65, 81-90). Alternative pathways for extracellular adenosine generation have been described. These pathways include the production of adenosine from nicotinamide dinucleotide (NAD) instead of ATP by the concerted action of CD38, CD203a and CD73. CD73-independent production of adenosine can also occur by other phosphates such as alkaline phosphatase or prostate-specific phosphatase.

There are four known subtypes of adenosine receptor in humans including A1, A2A, A2B and A3 receptors. A1 and A2A are high affinity receptors, whereas A2B and A3 are low affinity receptors. Adenosine and its agonists can act via one or more of these receptors and can modulate the activity of adenylate cyclase, the enzyme responsible for increasing cyclic AMP (cAMP). The different receptors have differential stimulatory and inhibitory effects on this enzyme. Increased intracellular concentrations of cAMP can suppress the activity of immune and inflammatory cells (Livingston, M. et al., Inflamm. Res., 2004, 53, 171-178).

The A2A adenosine receptor can signal in the periphery and the CNS, with agonists explored as anti-inflammatory drugs and antagonists explored for neurodegenerative diseases (Carlsson, J. et al., J. Med. Chem., 2010, 53, 3748-3755). In most cell types the A2A subtype inhibits intracellular calcium levels whereas the A2B potentiates them. The A2A receptor generally appears to inhibit inflammatory response from immune cells (Borrmann, T. et al., J. Med. Chem., 2009, 52(13), 3994-4006).

A2B receptors are highly expressed in the gastrointestinal tract, bladder, lung and on mast cells (Antonioli, L. et al., Nature Reviews Cancer, 2013, 13, 842-857). The A2B receptor, although structurally closely related to the A2A receptor and able to activate adenylate cyclase, is functionally different. It has been postulated that this subtype may utilize signal transduction systems other than adenylate cyclase (Livingston, M. et al., Inflamm. Res., 2004, 53, 171-178). Among all the adenosine receptors, the A2B adenosine receptor is a low affinity receptor that is thought to remain silent under physiological conditions and to be activated in consequence of increased extracellular adenosine levels (Ryzhov, S. et al. Neoplasia, 2008, 10, 987-995). Activation of A2B adenosine receptor can stimulate adenylate cyclase and phospholipase C through activation of Gs and Gq proteins, respectively. Coupling to mitogen activated protein kinases has also been described (Borrmann, T. et al., J. Med. Chem., 2009, 52(13), 3994-4006).

In the immune system, engagement of adenosine signaling can be a critical regulatory mechanism that protects tissues against excessive immune reactions. Adenosine can negatively modulate immune responses through many immune cell types, including T-cells, natural-killer cells, macrophages, dendritic cells, mast cells and myeloid-derived suppressor cells (Allard, B. et al. Current Opinion in Pharmacology, 2016, 29, 7-16).

In tumors, this pathway is hijacked by tumor micro-environments and sabotages the antitumor capacity of immune system, promoting cancer progression. In the tumor micro-environment, adenosine was mainly generated from extracellular ATP by CD39 and CD73. Multiple cell types can generate adenosine by expressing CD39 and CD73. This is the case for tumor cells, T-effector cells, T-regulatory cells, tumor associated macrophages, myeloid derived suppressive cells (MDSCs), endothelial cells, cancer-associated fibroblast (CAFs) and mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs). Hypoxia, inflammation and other immune-suppressive signaling in tumor micro-environment can induce expression of CD39, CD73 and subsequent adenosine production. As a result, adenosine level in solid tumors is unusually high compared to normal physiological conditions.

A2A are mostly expressed on lymphoid-derived cells, including T-effector cells, T regulatory cells and nature killing cells. Blocking A2A receptor can prevent downstream immunosuppressive signals that temporarily inactivate T cells. A2B receptors are mainly expressed on monocyte-derived cells including dendritic cells, tumor-associated macrophages, myeloid derived suppressive cells (MDSCs), and mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs). Blocking A2B receptor in preclinical models can suppress tumor growth, block metastasis, and increase the presentation of tumor antigens.

In terms of safety profile of ADORA2A/ADORA2B (A2A/A2B) blockage, the A2A and A2B receptor knockout mice are all viable, showing no growth abnormalities and are fertile (Allard, B. et al. Current Opinion in Pharmacology, 2016, 29, 7-16). A2A KO mice displayed increased levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines only upon challenge with LPS and no evidence of inflammation at baseline (Antonioli, L. et al., Nature Reviews Cancer, 2013, 13, 842-857). A2B KO mice exhibited normal platelet, red blood, and white cell counts but increased inflammation at baseline (TNF-alpha, IL-6) in naive A2B KO mice (Antonioli, L. et al., Nature Reviews Cancer, 2013, 13, 842-857). Exaggerated production of TNF-alpha and IL-6 was detected following LPS treatment. A2B KO mice also exhibited increased vascular adhesion molecules that mediate inflammation as well leukocyte adhesion/rolling; enhanced mast-cell activation; increased sensitivity to IgE-mediated anaphylaxis and increased vascular leakage and neutrophil influx under hypoxia (Antonioli, L. et al., Nature Reviews Cancer, 2013, 13, 842-857).

In summary, there is a need to develop new adenosine receptor selective ligands, such as for subtypes A2A and A2B, for the treatment of diseases such as cancer, inflammatory diseases, cardiovascular diseases and neurodegenerative diseases. This application is directed to this need and others.

Synthesis

As will be appreciated by thosed skilled in the art, the compounds provided herein, including salts and stereoisomers thereof, can be prepared using known organic synthesis techniques and can be synthesized according to any of numerous possible synthetic routes.

Compounds of formula 1-14 and 1-15 can be prepared via the synthetic route outlined in Scheme 1. Alkylation of commercially available starting material 1-1 with carbonyl adduct 1-2 (Hal is a halide, such as F, Cl, Br, or I), followed by a condensation reaction at elevated temperature, using an appropriate reagent, such as ammonium acetate, generates bicyclic compound 1-3. Compound 1-3 can then react with reagents, such as phosphoryl chloride (POCl₃), to give intermediate 1-4. A nucleophilic aromatic substitution (S_(N)Ar) reaction of intermediate 1-4 with amine adduct 1-5 (PG is a suitable protecting group, such as 2,4-dimethoxybenzyl), followed by reduction of the ester functionality with a suitable reductant (e.g., DIBAL-H), affords alcohol 1-6. Halogenation of 1-6 with an appropriate reagent, such as phosphorous tribromide (PBr₃), generates intermediate 1-7. Compound 1-7 can then be cross-coupled with an adduct of formula 1-8, in which M is a boronic acid, boronic ester or an appropriately substituted metal [e.g., M is B(OR)₂, Sn(Alkyl)₃, or Zn-Hal], under standard Suzuki cross-coupling conditions (e.g., in the presence of a palladium catalyst and a suitable base), or standard Stille cross-coupling conditions (e.g., in the presence of a palladium catalyst), or standard Negishi cross-coupling conditions (e.g., in the presence of a palladium catalyst) to afford the cross-coupling product, which undergoes protecting group removal to generate intermediate 1-9. In some embodiments, Cy⁴ can be a R⁴ or a R⁴-R^(4a). Halogenation of 1-9 with an appropriate reagent, such as N-bromosuccinimide (NBS), affords two isomers 1-10 and 1-11. The final products 1-14 and 1-15 can then be prepared by reacting the two isomers 1-10 and 1-11 with either adduct 1-12 or 1-13 using reaction conditions similar to that described for the preparation of 1-9 from 1-7.

Compounds of formula 2-7 can be prepared via the synthetic route outlined in Scheme 2. Alkylation of commercially available starting material 2-1 (Hal is a halide, such as F, Cl, Br, or I) with carbonyl adduct 1-2, followed by condensation using an appropriate reagent, such as ammonium acetate, at elevated temperature generates bicyclic compound 2-2. Compound 2-2 can then react with a suitable reagent, such as phosphoryl chloride (POCl₃), to give intermediate 2-3. A nucleophilic aromatic substitution (S_(N)Ar) reaction of intermediate 2-3 with amine adduct 1-5 (PG is a suitable protecting group, such as 2,4-dimethoxybenzyl), followed by removal of the protecting group, affords compound 2-4. Halogenation of 2-4 with a suitable reagent, such as N-bromosuccinimide (NBS), gives compound 2-5. Intermediate 2-5 can be cross-coupled with an adduct of formula 1-12, in which M is a boronic acid, boronic ester or an appropriately substituted metal [e.g., M is B(OR)₂, Sn(Alkyl)₃, or Zn-Hal], under standard Suzuki cross-coupling conditions (e.g., in the presence of a palladium catalyst and a suitable base), or standard Stille cross-coupling conditions (e.g., in the presence of a palladium catalyst), or standard Negishi cross-coupling conditions (e.g., in the presence of a palladium catalyst) to afford compound 2-6. Intermediate 2-6 then undergoes a second cross-coupling reaction with compound 1-8, using a similar procedure as described for the preparation of 2-6 from 2-5, to generate the product 2-7.

Compounds of formula 3-6 can be prepared via the synthetic route outlined in Scheme 3. A nucleophilic aromatic substitution (S_(N)Ar) reaction of compound 1-4 (prepared using procedures described in Scheme 1) with amine adduct 1-5 (PG is a suitable protecting group, such as 2,4-dimethoxybenzyl), followed by removal of the protecting group, affords intermediate 3-1. Halogenation of 3-1 with an appropriate reagent, such as N-bromosuccinimide (NBS), followed by reduction of the ester functionality with a suitable reductant (e.g., DIBAL-H), generates alcohol 3-2. Intermediate 3-2 can then be oxidized with an appropriate oxidant (e.g., Dess-Martin periodinane) to afford aldehyde 3-3. An addition reaction between 3-3 and 3-4 (M¹ is a metal group, such as MgBr or Li) then affords secondary alcohol 3-5. The final product 3-6 can be prepared via a cross-coupling reaction between intermediate 3-5 and an adduct of formula 1-12, in which M is a boronic acid, boronic ester or an appropriately substituted metal [e.g., M is B(OR)₂, Sn(Alkyl)₃, or Zn-Hal], under standard Suzuki cross-coupling conditions (e.g., in the presence of a palladium catalyst and a suitable base), or standard Stille cross-coupling conditions (e.g., in the presence of a palladium catalyst), or standard Negishi cross-coupling conditions (e.g., in the presence of a palladium catalyst).

Compound of formula 4-5 can be prepared via the synthetic route outlined in Scheme 4. A halogenation reaction of compound 3-1 (prepared using procedures from Scheme 3) with an appropriate reagent, such as N-bromosuccinimide (NBS), affords compound 4-1 (Hal is a halide, such as F, Cl, Br, or I). Compound 4-1 can then be cross-coupled with an adduct of formula 1-12, in which M is a boronic acid, boronic ester or an appropriately substituted metal [e.g., M is B(OR)₂, Sn(Alkyl)₃, or Zn-Hal], under standard Suzuki cross-coupling conditions (e.g., in the presence of a palladium catalyst and a suitable base), or standard Stille cross-coupling conditions (e.g., in the presence of a palladium catalyst), or standard Negishi cross-coupling conditions (e.g., in the presence of a palladium catalyst) to generate intermediate 4-2. Hydrolysis of 4-2 with a suitable reagent, such as sodium hydroxide, gives carboxylic acid 4-3. Compound 4-3 can then react with amine 4-4 under standard amide coupling conditions, such as using HATU as coupling reagent and DIPEA as base, to generate product 4-5.

Compounds of formula 5-7 can be prepared via the synthetic route outlined in Scheme 5. A nucleophilic aromatic substitution (S_(N)Ar) reaction of commercially available starting material 5-1 (Hal is a halide, such as F, Cl, Br, or I) with amine 1-5 (PG is a suitable protecting group, such as 2,4-dimethoxybenzyl) affords compound 5-2. Compound 5-2 can then be cross-coupled with an adduct of formula 5-3, in which M is a boronic acid, boronic ester or an appropriately substituted metal [e.g., M is B(OR)₂, Sn(Alkyl)₃, or Zn-Hal], under standard Suzuki cross-coupling conditions (e.g., in the presence of a palladium catalyst and a suitable base), or standard Stille cross-coupling conditions (e.g., in the presence of a palladium catalyst), or standard Negishi cross-coupling conditions (e.g., in the presence of a palladium catalyst) to generate intermediate 5-4. The protecting group in 5-4 can be removed to give compound 5-5. Halogenation of 5-5 with an appropriate reagent, such as N-bromosuccinimide (NBS), affords intermediate 5-6. Compound 5-6 can then be cross-coupled with an adduct of formula 1-12 to give the product 5-7, using a procedure similar to that described for the preparation of 5-4 from 5-2.

Intermediate 6-2 can then undergo a condensation reaction with an adduct of formula 6-3 to form compound 6-4. A nucleophilic aromatic substitution (S_(N)Ar) reaction of 6-4 with amine 1-5 (PG is a suitable protecting group, such as 2,4-dimethoxybenzyl) affords compound 6-5. Compound 6-6 can then be prepared via a cross-coupling reaction between intermediate 6-5 and an adduct of formula 5-3, in which M is a boronic acid, boronic ester or an appropriately substituted metal [e.g., M is B(OR)₂, Sn(Alkyl)₃, or Zn-Hal], under standard Suzuki cross-coupling conditions (e.g., in the presence of a palladium catalyst and a suitable base), or standard Stille cross-coupling conditions (e.g., in the presence of a palladium catalyst), or standard Negishi cross-coupling conditions (e.g., in the presence of a palladium catalyst). The protecting group in 6-6 can be removed to afford compound 6-7, which undergoes a halogenation reaction using an appropriate reagent, such as N-bromosuccinimide (NBS), to form compound 6-8. The final product 6-9 can be synthesized by coupling 6-8 with an adduct of formula 1-12, using similar procedures as described for the preparation of compound 6-6 from 6-5.

Compounds of formula 7-9 can be prepared via the synthetic route outlined in Scheme 7.

Compound 7-2 can then react with reagents, such as phosphoryl chloride (POCl₃), to give intermediate 7-3. A nucleophilic aromatic substitution (S_(N)Ar) reaction of intermediate 7-3 with amine adduct 7-4 (PG is a suitable protecting group, such as 4-methoxybenzyl) affords intermediate 7-5. Compound 7-5 can then be cross-coupled with an adduct of formula 7-6, in which M is a boronic acid, boronic ester or an appropriately substituted metal [e.g., M is B(OR)₂, Sn(Alkyl)₃, or Zn-Hal], under standard Suzuki Cross-Coupling conditions (e.g., in the presence of a palladium catalyst and a suitable base), or standard Stille cross-coupling conditions (e.g., in the presence of a palladium catalyst), or standard Negishi cross-coupling conditions (e.g., in the presence of a palladium catalyst) to generate compound 7-7. The protecting groups in 7-7 are removed, and the resulting intermediate undergoes a halogenation reaction with an appropriate reagent, such as N-Bromosuccinimide (NBS), to afford adduct 7-8. The final product 7-9 can then be synthesized by coupling 7-8 with an adduct of formula 1-12, using similar procedures as described for the preparation of compound 7-7 from 7-5.

Compounds of formula 8-7, 8-10, and 8-11 can be prepared via the synthetic route outlined in Scheme 8. Compound 7-5 (can be prepared as described in Scheme 7) can first be cross-coupled with reagent of formula 8-1, in which M is a boronic acid, boronic ester or an appropriately substituted metal [e.g., M is B(OR)₂, Sn(Alkyl)₃, or Zn-Hal], under standard Suzuki Cross-Coupling conditions (e.g., in the presence of a palladium catalyst and a suitable base), or standard Stille cross-coupling conditions (e.g., in the presence of a palladium catalyst), or standard Negishi cross-coupling conditions (e.g., in the presence of a palladium catalyst) to generate compound 8-2. A halogenation reaction of 8-2 can then be carried out using an appropriate reagent, such as 1-bromopyrrolidine-2,5-dione, to afford intermediate 8-3. Another cross-coupling reaction between 8-3 and reagent 1-12 can then be performed using similar conditions as described for the transformation from 7-5 to 8-2 to deliver compound 8-4. The vinyl group in 8-4 is cleaved under suitable conditions, such as using osmium (VIII) oxide and sodium periodate, and the resulting aldehyde 8-5 is reacted with 3-4 in an 1,2-addition reaction (M¹ is a metal group, such as MgCl or Li) to generate alcohol 8-6. The protecting group (PG) in 8-6 can then be removed to generate the desired product 8-7.

On the other hand, aldehyde 8-5 can undergo a reduction reaction using appropriate reagents, such as NaBH₄, to afford alcohol 8-8. A halogenation reaction of 8-8 then affords intermediate 8-9 using reagents such as PBr₃. A cross-coupling reaction between 8-9 and 1-8 (using conditions described for the synthesis of 8-2 from 7-5), followed by the removal of protecting groups (PG), will generate product 8-10. Alternatively, 8-9 can react with amine 4-4 in a nucleophilic substitution (S_(N)2) reaction, followed by removal of protecting groups (PG), to afford product 8-11. The reaction sequence described in this scheme can be rearranged and adjusted accordingly to fit the need of each analogue synthesis.

Compounds of formula 9-9 can be prepared using the synthetic route outlined in Scheme 9. Commercially available starting material 9-1 (Hal is a halide, such as F, Cl, Br, or I) can be subjected to nucleophilic aromatic substitution (S_(N)Ar) with amine 7-4 (PG is a suitable protecting group, such as 4-methoxybenzyl) to afford compound 9-2. Intermediate 9-2 can react with an appropriate reagent, such as O-(mesitylsulfonyl)hydroxylamine (Journal of Heterocyclic Chemistry, 1975, 12, 107), to form pyrazinium salt 9-3. Intermediate 9-3 can then undergo a condensation reaction with an intermediate of formula 9-4 to form compound 9-5. Compound 9-6 can then be prepared using a cross-coupling reaction between intermediate 9-5 and an intermediate of formula 5-3, in which M is a boronic acid, boronic ester or an appropriately substituted metal [e.g., M is B(OR)₂, Sn(Alkyl)₃, or Zn-Hal], under standard Suzuki cross-coupling conditions (e.g., in the presence of a palladium catalyst and a suitable base), or standard Stille cross-coupling conditions (e.g., in the presence of a palladium catalyst), or standard Negishi cross-coupling conditions (e.g., in the presence of a palladium catalyst). Compound 9-6 can undergo halogenation using an appropriate reagent, such as N-bromosuccinimide (NBS), to form compound 9-7. Compound 9-8 can be synthesized by coupling 9-7 with an intermediate of formula 1-12, using similar procedures as described for the preparation of compound 9-6 from 9-5. The final product 9-9 can be formed after removal of the protecting group in intermediate 9-8. Certain synthetic steps described herein can be rearranged, and/or omitted, to prepare different analogues.

MDSC (myeloid-derived suppressor cells) are a heterogenous group of immune cells from the myeloid lineage (a family of cells that originate from bone marrow stem cells). MDSCs strongly expand in pathological situations such as chronic infections and cancer, as a result of an altered haematopoiesis. MDSCs are discriminated from other myeloid cell types in which they possess strong immunosuppressive activities rather than immunostimulatory properties. Similar to other myeloid cells, MDSCs interact with other immune cell types including T cells, dendritic cells, macrophages and natural killer cells to regulate their functions. In some embodiments, the compounds, etc. described herein can be used in methods related to cancer tissue (e.g., tumors) with high infiltration of MDSCs, including Solid tumors with high basal level of macrophage and/or MDSC infiltration.

E. et al. Pharmacol. Biochem. Behav., 2012, 100, 498-505).

In some embodiments, the compounds of the disclosure can be used as a treatment for diabetes and related disorders, such as insulin resistance. Diabetes affects the production of adenosine and the expression of A2B adenosine receptors (A2BRs) that stimulate IL-6 and CRP production, insulin resistance, and the association between A_(2B)R gene single-nucleotide polymorphisms (ADORA2B SNPs) and inflammatory markers. The increased A2BR signaling in diabetes may increase insulin resistance in part by elevating pro-inflammatory mediators. Selective A2BR blockers may be useful to treat insulin resistance (Figler, R. A. et al. Diabetes, 2011, 60 (2), 669-679).

Pharmaceutical Formulations and Dosage Forms

When employed as pharmaceuticals, the compounds of the disclosure can be administered in the form of pharmaceutical compositions. These compositions can be prepared in a manner well known in the pharmaceutical art, and can be administered by a variety of routes, depending upon whether local or systemic treatment is desired and upon the area to be treated. Administration may be topical (including transdermal, epidermal, ophthalmic and to mucous membranes including intranasal, vaginal and rectal delivery), pulmonary (e.g., by inhalation or insufflation of powders or aerosols, including by nebulizer; intratracheal or intranasal), oral, or parenteral. Parenteral administration includes intravenous, intraarterial, subcutaneous, intraperitoneal intramuscular or injection or infusion; or intracranial, e.g., intrathecal or intraventricular, administration. Parenteral administration can be in the form of a single bolus dose, or may be, for example, by a continuous perfusion pump. Pharmaceutical compositions and formulations for topical administration may include transdermal patches, ointments, lotions, creams, gels, drops, suppositories, sprays, liquids and powders. Conventional pharmaceutical carriers, aqueous, powder or oily bases, thickeners and the like may be necessary or desirable.

This disclosure also includes pharmaceutical compositions which contain, as the active ingredient, the compound of the disclosure or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, in combination with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers (excipients). In some embodiments, the composition is suitable for topical administration. In making the compositions of the disclosure, the active ingredient is typically mixed with an excipient, diluted by an excipient or enclosed within such a carrier in the form of, for example, a capsule, sachet, paper, or other container. When the excipient serves as a diluent, it can be a solid, semi-solid, or liquid material, which acts as a vehicle, carrier or medium for the active ingredient. Thus, the compositions can be in the form of tablets, pills, powders, lozenges, sachets, cachets, elixirs, suspensions, emulsions, solutions, syrups, aerosols (as a solid or in a liquid medium), ointments containing, for example, up to 10% by weight of the active compound, soft and hard gelatin capsules, suppositories, sterile injectable solutions, and sterile packaged powders.

In preparing a formulation, the active compound can be milled to provide the appropriate particle size prior to combining with the other ingredients. If the active compound is substantially insoluble, it can be milled to a particle size of less than 200 mesh. If the active compound is substantially water soluble, the particle size can be adjusted by milling to provide a substantially uniform distribution in the formulation, e.g., about 40 mesh.

The compounds of the disclosure may be milled using known milling procedures such as wet milling to obtain a particle size appropriate for tablet formation and for other formulation types. Finely divided (nanoparticulate) preparations of the compounds of the disclosure can be prepared by processes known in the art, e.g., see International App. No. WO 2002/000196.

Some examples of suitable excipients include lactose, dextrose, sucrose, sorbitol, mannitol, starches, gum acacia, calcium phosphate, alginates, tragacanth, gelatin, calcium silicate, microcrystalline cellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone, cellulose, water, syrup, and methyl cellulose. The formulations can additionally include: lubricating agents such as talc, magnesium stearate, and mineral oil; wetting agents; emulsifying and suspending agents; preserving agents such as methyl- and propylhydroxy-benzoates; sweetening agents; and flavoring agents. The compositions of the disclosure can be formulated so as to provide quick, sustained or delayed release of the active ingredient after administration to the patient by employing procedures known in the art.

The compositions can be formulated in a unit dosage form, each dosage containing from about 5 to about 1000 mg (1 g), more usually about 100 to about 500 mg, of the active ingredient. The term “unit dosage forms” refers to physically discrete units suitable as unitary dosages for human subjects and other mammals, each unit containing a predetermined quantity of active material calculated to produce the desired therapeutic effect, in association with a suitable pharmaceutical excipient.

In some embodiments, the compositions of the disclosure contain from about 5 to about 50 mg of the active ingredient. One having ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that this embodies compositions containing about 5 to about 10, about 10 to about 15, about 15 to about 20, about 20 to about 25, about 25 to about 30, about 30 to about 35, about 35 to about 40, about 40 to about 45, or about 45 to about 50 mg of the active ingredient.

In some embodiments, the compositions of the disclosure contain from about 50 to about 500 mg of the active ingredient. One having ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that this embodies compositions containing about 50 to about 100, about 100 to about 150, about 150 to about 200, about 200 to about 250, about 250 to about 300, about 350 to about 400, or about 450 to about 500 mg of the active ingredient.

In some embodiments, the compositions of the disclosure contain from about 500 to about 1000 mg of the active ingredient. One having ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that this embodies compositions containing about 500 to about 550, about 550 to about 600, about 600 to about 650, about 650 to about 700, about 700 to about 750, about 750 to about 800, about 800 to about 850, about 850 to about 900, about 900 to about 950, or about 950 to about 1000 mg of the active ingredient.

Similar dosages may be used of the compounds described herein in the methods and uses of the disclosure.

The active compound can be effective over a wide dosage range and is generally administered in a pharmaceutically effective amount. It will be understood, however, that the amount of the compound actually administered will usually be determined by a physician, according to the relevant circumstances, including the condition to be treated, the chosen route of administration, the actual compound administered, the age, weight, and response of the individual patient, the severity of the patient's symptoms, and the like.

For preparing solid compositions such as tablets, the principal active ingredient is mixed with a pharmaceutical excipient to form a solid preformulation composition containing a homogeneous mixture of a compound of the present disclosure. When referring to these preformulation compositions as homogeneous, the active ingredient is typically dispersed evenly throughout the composition so that the composition can be readily subdivided into equally effective unit dosage forms such as tablets, pills and capsules. This solid preformulation is then subdivided into unit dosage forms of the type described above containing from, for example, about 0.1 to about 1000 mg of the active ingredient of the present disclosure.

The tablets or pills of the present disclosure can be coated or otherwise compounded to provide a dosage form affording the advantage of prolonged action. For example, the tablet or pill can comprise an inner dosage and an outer dosage component, the latter being in the form of an envelope over the former. The two components can be separated by an enteric layer which serves to resist disintegration in the stomach and permit the inner component to pass intact into the duodenum or to be delayed in release. A variety of materials can be used for such enteric layers or coatings, such materials including a number of polymeric acids and mixtures of polymeric acids with such materials as shellac, cetyl alcohol, and cellulose acetate.

The liquid forms in which the compounds and compositions of the present disclosure can be incorporated for administration orally or by injection include aqueous solutions, suitably flavored syrups, aqueous or oil suspensions, and flavored emulsions with edible oils such as cottonseed oil, sesame oil, coconut oil, or peanut oil, as well as elixirs and similar pharmaceutical vehicles.

Compositions for inhalation or insufflation include solutions and suspensions in pharmaceutically acceptable, aqueous or organic solvents, or mixtures thereof, and powders. The liquid or solid compositions may contain suitable pharmaceutically acceptable excipients as described supra. In some embodiments, the compositions are administered by the oral or nasal respiratory route for local or systemic effect. Compositions can be nebulized by use of inert gases. Nebulized solutions may be breathed directly from the nebulizing device or the nebulizing device can be attached to a face mask, tent, or intermittent positive pressure breathing machine. Solution, suspension, or powder compositions can be administered orally or nasally from devices which deliver the formulation in an appropriate manner.

Topical formulations can contain one or more conventional carriers. In some embodiments, ointments can contain water and one or more hydrophobic carriers selected from, for example, liquid paraffin, polyoxyethylene alkyl ether, propylene glycol, white Vaseline, and the like. Carrier compositions of creams can be based on water in combination with glycerol and one or more other components, e.g. glycerinemonostearate, PEG-glycerinemonostearate and cetylstearyl alcohol. Gels can be formulated using isopropyl alcohol and water, suitably in combination with other components such as, for example, glycerol, hydroxyethyl cellulose, and the like. In some embodiments, topical formulations contain at least about 0.1, at least about 0.25, at least about 0.5, at least about 1, at least about 2, or at least about 5 wt % of the compound of the disclosure. The topical formulations can be suitably packaged in tubes of, for example, 100 g which are optionally associated with instructions for the treatment of the select indication, e.g., psoriasis or other skin condition.

The amount of compound or composition administered to a patient will vary depending upon what is being administered, the purpose of the administration, such as prophylaxis or therapy, the state of the patient, the manner of administration, and the like. In therapeutic applications, compositions can be administered to a patient already suffering from a disease in an amount sufficient to cure or at least partially arrest the symptoms of the disease and its complications. Effective doses will depend on the disease condition being treated as well as by the judgment of the attending clinician depending upon factors such as the severity of the disease, the age, weight and general condition of the patient, and the like.

The compositions administered to a patient can be in the form of pharmaceutical compositions described above. These compositions can be sterilized by conventional sterilization techniques, or may be sterile filtered. Aqueous solutions can be packaged for use as is, or lyophilized, the lyophilized preparation being combined with a sterile aqueous carrier prior to administration. The pH of the compound preparations typically will be between 3 and 11, more preferably from 5 to 9 and most preferably from 7 to 8. It will be understood that use of certain of the foregoing excipients, carriers, or stabilizers will result in the formation of pharmaceutical salts.

The therapeutic dosage of a compound of the present disclosure can vary according to, for example, the particular use for which the treatment is made, the manner of administration of the compound, the health and condition of the patient, and the judgment of the prescribing physician. The proportion or concentration of a compound of the disclosure in a pharmaceutical composition can vary depending upon a number of factors including dosage, chemical characteristics (e.g., hydrophobicity), and the route of administration. For example, the compounds of the disclosure can be provided in an aqueous physiological buffer solution containing about 0.1 to about 10% w/v of the compound for parenteral administration. Some typical dose ranges are from about 1 μg/kg to about 1 g/kg of body weight per day. In some embodiments, the dose range is from about 0.01 mg/kg to about 100 mg/kg of body weight per day. The dosage is likely to depend on such variables as the type and extent of progression of the disease or disorder, the overall health status of the particular patient, the relative biological efficacy of the compound selected, formulation of the excipient, and its route of administration. Effective doses can be extrapolated from dose-response curves derived from in vitro or animal model test systems.

The compositions of the disclosure can further include one or more additional pharmaceutical agents such as a chemotherapeutic, steroid, anti-inflammatory compound, or immunosuppressant, examples of which are listed herein.

Labeled Compounds and Assay Methods

Another aspect of the present disclosure relates to labeled compounds of the disclosure (radio-labeled, fluorescent-labeled, etc.) that would be useful not only in imaging techniques but also in assays, both in vitro and in vivo, for localizing and quantitating A2A and/or A2B receptors in tissue samples, including human, and for identifying A2A and/or A2B antagonists by inhibition binding of a labeled compound. Substitution of one or more of the atoms of the compounds of the present disclosure can also be useful in generating differentiated ADME (Adsorption, Distribution, Metabolism and Excretion.) Accordingly, the present disclosure includes adenosine receptor (e.g., A2A and/or A2B) assays that contain such labeled or substituted compounds.

The present disclosure further includes isotopically-labeled compounds of the disclosure. An “isotopically” or “radio-labeled” compound is a compound of the disclosure where one or more atoms are replaced or substituted by an atom having an atomic mass or mass number different from the atomic mass or mass number typically found in nature (i.e., naturally occurring). Suitable radionuclides that may be incorporated in compounds of the present disclosure include but are not limited to ²H (also written as D for deuterium), ³H (also written as T for tritium), ¹¹C, ¹³C, ¹⁴C, ¹³N, ¹⁵N, ¹⁵O, ¹⁷O, ¹⁸O, ¹⁸F, ³⁵S, ³⁶Cl, ⁸²Br, ⁷⁵Br, ⁷⁶Br, ⁷⁷Br, ¹²³I, ¹²⁴I, ¹²⁵I and ¹³¹I. For example, one or more hydrogen atoms in a compound of the present disclosure can be replaced by deuterium atoms (e.g., one or more hydrogen atoms of a C₁₋₆ alkyl group of Formula (I) can be optionally substituted with deuterium atoms, such as —CD₃ being substituted for —CH₃). In some embodiments, alkyl groups in any of the disclosed Formulas, e.g., Formula (I), can be perdeuterated.

One or more constituent atoms of the compounds presented herein can be replaced or substituted with isotopes of the atoms in natural or non-natural abundance. In some embodiments, the compound includes at least one deuterium atom. For example, one or more hydrogen atoms in a compound presented herein can be replaced or substituted by deuterium (e.g., one or more hydrogen atoms of a C₁₋₆ alkyl group can be replaced by deuterium atoms, such as —CD₃ being substituted for —CH₃). In some embodiments, the compound includes two or more deuterium atoms. In some embodiments, the compound includes 1-2, 1-3, 1-4, 1-5, or 1-6 deuterium atoms. In some embodiments, all of the hydrogen atoms in a compound can be replaced or substituted by deuterium atoms.

In some embodiments, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 hydrogen atoms, attached to carbon atoms of any “alkyl”, “alkenyl”, “alkynyl”, “aryl”, “phenyl”, “cycloalkyl”, “heterocycloalkyl”, or “heteroaryl” substituents or “—C₁₋₆ alkyl-”, “alkylene”, “alkenylene” and “alkynylene” linking groups, as described herein, are each optionally replaced by a deuterium atom.

Synthetic methods for including isotopes into organic compounds are known in the art (Deuterium Labeling in Organic Chemistry by Alan F. Thomas (New York, N.Y., Appleton-Century-Crofts, 1971; The Renaissance of H/D Exchange by Jens Atzrodt, Volker Derdau, Thorsten Fey and Jochen Zimmermann, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2007, 7744-7765; The Organic Chemistry of Isotopic Labelling by James R. Hanson, Royal Society of Chemistry, 2011). Isotopically labeled compounds can be used in various studies such as NMR spectroscopy, metabolism experiments, and/or assays.

Substitution with heavier isotopes, such as deuterium, may afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, for example, increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements, and hence may be preferred in some circumstances. (see e.g., A. Kerekes et. al. J. Med. Chem. 2011, 54, 201-210; R. Xu et. al. J. Label Compd. Radiopharm. 2015, 58, 308-312). In particular, substitution at one or more metabolism sites may afford one or more of the therapeutic advantages.

The radionuclide that is incorporated in the instant radio-labeled compounds will depend on the specific application of that radio-labeled compound. For example, for in vitro adenosine receptor labeling and competition assays, compounds that incorporate ³H, ¹⁴C, ⁸²Br, ¹²⁵I, ¹³¹I or ³⁵S can be useful. For radio-imaging applications ¹¹C, ¹⁸F, ¹²⁵I, ¹²³I, ¹²⁴I, ¹³¹I, ⁷⁵Br, ⁷⁶Br or ⁷⁷Br can be useful.

It is understood that a “radio-labeled” or “labeled compound” is a compound that has incorporated at least one radionuclide. In some embodiments, the radionuclide is selected from the group consisting of ³H, ¹⁴C, ¹²⁵I, ³⁵S and ⁸²Br.

The present disclosure can further include synthetic methods for incorporating radio-isotopes into compounds of the disclosure. Synthetic methods for incorporating radio-isotopes into organic compounds are well known in the art, and an ordinary skill in the art will readily recognize the methods applicable for the compounds of disclosure.

A labeled compound of the disclosure can be used in a screening assay to identify/evaluate compounds. For example, a newly synthesized or identified compound (i.e., test compound) which is labeled can be evaluated for its ability to bind an adenosine receptor by monitoring its concentration variation when contacting with the adenosine receptor, through tracking of the labeling. For example, a test compound (labeled) can be evaluated for its ability to reduce binding of another compound which is known to bind to a an adenosine receptor (i.e., standard compound). Accordingly, the ability of a test compound to compete with the standard compound for binding to the adenosine receptor directly correlates to its binding affinity. Conversely, in some other screening assays, the standard compound is labeled and test compounds are unlabeled. Accordingly, the concentration of the labeled standard compound is monitored in order to evaluate the competition between the standard compound and the test compound, and the relative binding affinity of the test compound is thus ascertained.

Kits

The present disclosure also includes pharmaceutical kits useful, for example, in the treatment or prevention of adenosine receptor-associated diseases or disorders (such as, e.g., cancer, an inflammatory disease, a cardiovascular disease, or a neurodegenerative disease) which include one or more containers containing a pharmaceutical composition comprising a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of the disclosure. Such kits can further include, if desired, one or more of various conventional pharmaceutical kit components, such as, for example, containers with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, additional containers, etc., as will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art. Instructions, either as inserts or as labels, indicating quantities of the components to be administered, guidelines for administration, and/or guidelines for mixing the components, can also be included in the kit.

The invention will be described in greater detail by way of specific examples. The following examples are offered for illustrative purposes, and are not intended to limit the invention in any manner. Those of skill in the art will readily recognize a variety of non-critical parameters which can be changed or modified to yield essentially the same results. The compounds of the Examples have been found to inhibit the activity of an adenosine receptor (e.g., A2A and/or A2B) according to at least one assay described herein.

EXAMPLES

Preparatory LC-MS purifications of some of the compounds prepared were performed on Waters mass directed fractionation systems. The basic equipment setup, protocols, and control software for the operation of these systems have been described in detail in the literature (see e.g. “Two-Pump At Column Dilution Configuration for Preparative LC-MS”, K. Blom, J. Combi. Chem., 4, 295 (2002); “Optimizing Preparative LC-MS Configurations and Methods for Parallel Synthesis Purification”, K. Blom, R. Sparks, J. Doughty, G. Everlof, T. Haque, A. Combs, J Combi. Chem., 5, 670 (2003); and “Preparative LC-MS Purification: Improved Compound Specific Method Optimization”, K. Blom, B. Glass, R. Sparks, A. Combs, J. Combi. Chem., 6, 874-883 (2004)). The compounds separated were typically subjected to analytical liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LCMS) for purity analysis under the following conditions: Instrument; Agilent 1100 series, LC/MSD, Column: Waters Sunfire™ C₁₈ 5 m, 2.1×50 mm, Buffers: mobile phase A: 0.025% TFA in water and mobile phase B: acetonitrile; gradient 2% to 80% of B in 3 minutes with flow rate 2.0 mL/minute.

Some of the compounds prepared were also separated on a preparative scale by reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) with MS detector or flash chromatography (silica gel) as indicated in the Examples. Typical preparative reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) column conditions are as follows:
